Been having a debate at work about the benifits or stupidty of changing my spark plug + wire + adding
a ignition control system into my car. Here is the debate:


Stock 99 celica
Only mods are custom pipe and CAI
plantium +2 plugs

Would changing the wires + ignition control help improve performance or since i dont have a supercharger or
turbo would it be a waste of money since the stock spark might be enough for the compression it makes?


Personally i would think the bigger the spark the better... but i dont know much about cars and would thank you for any information.

If you have alot of misfire, trust me, you'll know. But if its not that bad then you can simply hear it by listening to the engine and can feel it under acceleration, or lack thereof. Also you can have your timing checked either by yourself with a timing light or can take it to a shop. Since it sounds like your also kinda concerned with how well your engine is running and performing then I would also have them do a compression test.

As for the bosh wires, all your paying for is the name. Stock wires will do just as much and be cheaper and probably last longer too.
